Reputation is an odd thing. I'm from Cali and Berkeley carried so much weight growing up, I assumed it was like Stanford or Harvard until seeing numbers on the student bodies.
Oh ok. You're gonna crush that cycle then.
But who? Who displays cockiness and elitism? Is it Goro???
It makes sense to me to have required attendance for small classes as there may be a lot of discussions, especially true if there's a wait list and the kids skipping class are taking spots from people who would've contributed a lot more. So what strikes me here is that the prof expected nobody to use Google during their take home online midterm. I know mehc is convinced nobody cheated at her LAC in those situations...but strikes me as setting up a system to reward cheaters when there are almost certainly going to be some.
Wow! Their sports religion ethics class had more enrollment than our Ochem? Must be an awesome class. But in that case it's stupid to require attendance.
I like this. Sends a clear message to the prof that their policy is stupid and forcing them to learn a certain way does nothing to enhance their education. Ofc the prof could just start doing half the clicker checks in the last 5 mins
This happens here about once a year.
You'd think they'd have come off as dickish in their interviews for MD and residency. Or does the God complex not develop until you're done training
Ive heard it "how they treat those that can give them nothing". I wonder if what got them in trouble was being rude to patients tho or Co workers
It is never apparent when they are hired.
We have told the parking attendants to let us know about rude behavior.
It's usually condescension.
But they should motivate students to attend by being a better teacher than a textbook, not by giving points for sitting there spacing out for an hour
When class grading is set up for a certain distribution, the points become meaningless because everyone gets them. Now you're just working with 90% of the grade to outperform each other with
And people should be motivated to excel in their occupations for reasons other than $$$. Theory vs reality
I see this very frequently in everyday life, and it makes me so sad. I see all sorts of people behave very rudely toward receptionists, restaurant servers, parking attendants, janitors, and everyone in between. Several times, I have actually heard people utter the phrase: "I pay your wages, so..." I know I'm being naïve and optimistic, but I don't understand how people don't feel that they should treat everyone with respect just because everyone deserves it, not because of what others can do for you.
Prime example of a neurotic pre-med, my friend.
He reported you for having the same answers...?
Right but in your scenario many people would be reported. I'm under the impression that the OP is alone on this one.
So what it's a crime to buy ten clickers for my own use in case I misplace them once a week ????
as long as they're all registered to your student id, you're chilling
If he reported a student for having the answer that was correct for the morning class on only one day, that's completely ridiculous. Multiple choice questions generally only have 4 or 5 possible answers, so if a student had no idea and guessed, that student would have a 20-25% chance of guessing the answer that was correct for the morning purely by coincidence. It is also entirely possible that the student really did think that the answer that was assigned to the letter that was correct for the morning was the right one. If a student had consistently picked a letter that was correct for the morning class and incorrect for the afternoon class, that would be reasonable grounds for reporting that student. However, if it was only for one day, that very well could have just been coincidence, and I hope the academic board that he reported the students to dismissed the cases and let the professor know that he had not even come close to meeting the burden of proof.
